He sleeps  a   -lone  in the damp, and rests his head upon a door,
     Am7         E7           Am         Em
The only bed he knows is the floor,  the tra---a---amp!

G                       D
  Turned up collar and worn out shoes,
Am                          C            G        D
He doesn't care, 'cause he hasn't got nothing to lose!

   No companion to take him home,
 Am                       C               G          D
His only friends are the kind that just leave him a-lone!

Am7            D7         Em        C       Am
 No one knows just how lonely his life has been,

      Em     C    Em        B7 *(Riff)
In a world that lives in a dream!
